A Big Fat Thank You

Random post, but I kinda wanted to share a new picture with you guys.  I originally took this to send off to a modelling caster-person (?) where I wasn't wearing any makeup, and I decided to play around with the Topshop Makeover site, just for fun, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I mean if you look carefully the eyelashes look quite fake, but my intention is to use it as icons for websites so it'll often be small anyway. I usually avoid pictures focusing on my face, as I'm not as confident when taking them, which is why I take more full body outfit posts, as the focus is on the outfit rather than my face. (I'm blabbing, I'll shut up now).

Anyway, my intention of this post is to thank my followers.  I started this blog in February and in 7 months I've gained 250 followers, not including followers on Bloglovin', Lookbook, Twitter and Tumblr.  I honestly never thought I'd get this far, as I have had a blog before, and the highest amount of followers I got was 33!  I put a lot of time and effort into my blog, so it's so good knowing that it all pays off.  I also feel that I've networked a little, mostly through Twitter, and chatting to other bloggers on there which is really nice, and I really feel part of a community.  So to close this post, thank you so much, all my followers. Big love to each and every one of you!

INK

I don't normally paint my own nails, as I get them done in the salon because I have the acrylic overlays, but I was getting mega bored with the silver glittery stuff, which was rubbing off anyway so I painted them.  The colour is the purpley OPI Ink colour, which I love, because it changes colour all the time, ranging from blue, to purple to black, so I always get comments when I have it on.  You can also see the tiny little sparkles in it too, so it's not just a boring block colour.  It's pretty hard to photograph, so the pictures don't do much justice, but you can kind of see it in some!

Fame > Demise

I'm really not sure about this look, but I took the photos so I might as well put it on anyway.  I put more colour in the bottom, as the pink had completely faded, but now my extensions match again!  You can't really see in the pictures, but I'm wearing my new boots!

Sunday Summary Week 16

1/ Got my nails done all sparkly silver, preeeetty!
2/ Alex's recent X-ray, showing the metal plate and screws put in when he had his 3 and a half hour operation!
3/ The scar left from Alex's operation (he's had the cast off)
4/ Colour ombre'd my hair (it's still wet here)
5/ Went to Reading Festival, now have 4 bands!
6/ Mum went milk crazy
7/ Can't see it well, but my Costa muffin got completely squished in my bag (still yummy though!)
8/ A moped got knocked over by a car, my mum actually started crying when she saw this. Luckily the rider was unharmed!
9/ Bought some Doc Martens for college, later returned as cheaper & nicer boots were found in TK Maxx!
10/ Had a cider flavoured ice lolly, so goood!

Things I loved this week:
1/ Really loving Lily's blog, Red Brick Lipstick lately

2/ The new song, Fame > Demise by Woe, Is me (warning heavy) listen here

3/ This incredible photography site, 'Back To The Future'.  The photographer has recreated childhood photos almost exactly, it's so well done.

So last week I wasn't able to make a Sunday Summary post due to the fact I was at Reading Festival.  For this reason, this weeks is extra photo heavy, as I had two weeks worth to put in!  The weather isn't great today where I am, completely grey and unnervingly silent, it's completely still outside, with no wind or anything.  I would call it peaceful, but I usually associate that with the sun!  I start college in just over a week and I'm pretty nervous, considering I haven't got anything organised at all.  I'd also like to say a quick happy birthday to Beyoncé, she looks amazing, and would never have guessed that she's 30!

Your forever is all that I need

Hi guys, just a quick post as I just got back from town with my mum after buying some coconut ice! It's got to be my favourite kind of sweet, and I decided to experiment with my photography a bit in my garden.  It's not that sunny outside but I had to make do with the light available.  I think they turned out alright, but that's just my opinion!  I'm trying to get more into photography as I'm starting college on the 12th September, and I'll be studying photography as one of my 4 A-levels.  We also went to have a look in the pet shop today, as they have a sign outside stating that they are now stocking tortoises.  My mum is strongly considering getting one as a pet to keep in the garden, but we still need to do a lot of research on how to keep them etc.  If there are any tortoise brainboxes reading my blog, feel free to leave some tips!
